Hello kings and Generals. Did you interest about what happened to Transaxonia and Khorasan after timur's death? Yes you made a lot of videos about Timurid Invasions. If you find this comment as interesting i'm hope you would like that Fall of Timurids and Trouble Era of Transaxonia.
I'm amazed that a bunch of pieces of furniture, foot rests with a storage space within, of all things, managed to conquer so much land. You'd expect them to be pretty much static.
Eastern europe is closer to Central aasia than to wesern Europe. Europe is a made up geographical term superimposed on a Greek-o-roman Christendom .....People east of Ural like the Hungarian Magyars, Bulgars, Avars, Pechnegs, Chuvash, and so many other Turkic people from Central Asia have always lived in eastern Europe even before Slavs. The Western Germanic people have nothing to do with Greece or Mediterranean.
The Ottomans were taught by the Almogávares at the beginning of the 14th century, the Spanish had been fighting continuously against the Muslims in Hispania for 6 centuries and used light infantry perfectly. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_Company
@@angelcamachodelsolar I don't thin Spanish armies using light armed soliders influanced Ottoman army at all, Ottomans never used heavy cavalary and infantry that much, it is a nomadic thing and early Ottomans were semi nomadic Turks.
@@youravaragetoxicmasculinem9508 Well, it is strange that they were defeated by the light infantry troops of the Almogávares so many times, even though they were inferior in number, and they did not learn anything or apply it later against their enemies.
@@angelcamachodelsolar Dude Ottomans did not fought against Almogavares, i don't even know who tf they are and i don't think even anyone outside Spain knows, nobody gives a shit about Almogavares and they didn't influanced anything in Ottomans, Ottomans probably didn't even know about Turks used light armored infantry for thausands of years, way before Ottomans, i just checked Alvogavares and their armor has nothing to do with what Turks used, Also Ottomans di not exist in 12-13centuries there were Seljuks Turks in Anatolia and Ottomans were in a smal tribe, Turks use light armor since first TUrkic state.
They had Serbian knights & heavy cavalry with such armor under their command, if they ever needed such heavily armored troops for whatever particular reason
Well, as a Bulgarian that loves history, I'd like to state that this is quite an understatement, as my nation fell victim to the Ottomans' great military at that time. It was not only that they were innovators, moved quick and had numbers, it was also that for years they waged wars in the region by being mercenaries and were able first hand to study the weaknesses and the division in the Balkan nations. Balkan nations were foolish, not united and not seeing far ahead. Ottomans, even with all of their improvements, wouldn't be able to handle the Balkans the decisive way they did. Their best weapon was knowing their enemy and knowing their enemies will NEVER unite.
The Ottomans never kept the nations living in the Balkans separate from the Turks and always protected you, but you betrayed the Ottomans whenever you had the opportunity.
Ottoman history of 1299-1630s just a great. That's not only for conquests. Only thing would be enough for Everyone. Look at their Background and you will they were came from Central Asia at that time they were nomadic tribe. After 150 years Ottomans began rise. Even after the timur's invasion they recovered themselves from Civil wars. In 1453 they ended Medieval and Roman era. Some of sultans were truly Reformators. After the Reconquistica jews found peaceful life in that empire. Only western industrial revolutions weakened Ottoman Empire.

In the headqurters they understood that the this illness was not spreading from human to human and it was available mostly in swarmy areas. When religious people come to Constantinople Ottomans learned from them that this illness is "caused" by infidels. These kind of stupidities that originated in religion caused decline of the Ottoman empire.

It's interesting to observe that many commentators often seek to downplay the achievements, conquests, and innovations of the Ottomans. Yet, let's acknowledge that we are discussing an empire that engaged in wars, primarily driven by economic and political motives rather than religious ones. It successfully adapted to the demands of its time, establishing a robust framework for administration, trade, and the economy. The Ottoman Empire created a flourishing civilization with the influence of other rich civilizations where diverse nations coexisted harmoniously; although, one might observe a different scenario in its former geography marked by various problems nowadays. As someone proud of my Turkish heritage, I take immense pride in my ancestors who, despite their imperfections, played a pivotal role in shaping and sustaining the Ottoman Empire for an impressive six centuries. Thank you, K&G, we love you!
It was all about the quality of the commanders and centralized authority. When they faced capable adversaries, such as Skanderbeg, Stephen III and Vlad Dracula, they struggled. When they faced weak leadership such as the case with the Mamelukes, or the civil strife of the byzantines, they stomped.
@@cenktuneygok8986He won tactically but gained little strategically. Mehmed had a huge advantage in numbers but lost many men due to the guerilla tactics, scorched earth policy, and disease. Vlad’s brother was put on the throne but Romania was never a reliable vassal state for the ottomans. The Romanians would always turn to Christian Europe as natural allies first, Stephen of Moldavia was considered the ideal Christian hero, for example.
Well I think it was impressive speed. Like please consider that they are constantly attacked from their eastern flank as well. And think about the problem of Timur and the battle of Ankara in 1402, that literally could have been the end of the Ottoman Empire. Somehow it didn't die and continued taking eastern europe after 10 year of BLOODY civil war. Constantly losing soldiers and still taking that much in such little time. No my friend no strong words were used in this video this is very impressive stuff.
@@yusassin1449 bro they took the balkans and badically inhereted the Chrimean khanet, that's far from like the whole Eastern Europe, + even thought their ryse was somewhat meteoric it is far more accurat to say they rapidly conquerd territories like Egyipt or the Outremer and say like subjegated like the whole of North Africa or something. At Europe they badically got stuck at near around the Danube despite the many attempts to break through like Hungary and such.
The Ottomans quickly and easily conquered places in Eastern Europe where they did not have logistical problems.The problem started as the borders moved away from Istanbul
@@andrasnoll2559 To be clear no one here said they took all of Eastern Europe. Just to get that out of the way. I must say you make fair points. The conquest of Egypt is indeed worthy of being called a rapid advance. But Eastern Europe during that time was full of what were considered powerful states its not 1 centralized power that ruled large parts of Eastern Europe, I mean the Ottomans can't just defeat 1 large army or coalition and take the whole region like they did in Egypt. The Ottoman conquest of the Balkans and later their victory during the Battle of Mohacs took 50% of Hungary in one sweep these I consider these rapid advances. So basically to sum it up if your that buthurt about me calling these "rapid advances" then why don't we just say the Ottomans had 2 outstanding "Breakthroughs" in their conquests of Eastern Europe instead. Will that get you off my ass? Someone replying to me simply because I'm saying something is a rapid advance kinda annoyed me.
By medieval standards, that is quick. That was an age when armies took months just to move 40km. Rome and Napoleon were the outliers. Obviously the documentary is wrong about Eastern Europe. Just the Balkans
I wish you can make a video about the stand off and rivalry between Britain and France through out history which determined the fate of the modern world beginning with the Norman invasion and throughout the one hundred years war, the seven year war, and the napoleonic wars. The factors the tipped the scale in favor of the British, etc. Another Video can be about the rivalry between British and the Germans.
I love how they used the map from Mongol invasion of Poland series. And OMG! This time cities are actually well placed and not completely screwed up! I guess the further from Mediterranean, the harder it is for K&G to have good maps hahaha😂
@@aerys2254 they eventually engaged in hand to hand combat to beat the shit out of crusaders. My point is pragmatism of ottomans and stupidty and delusion of crusaders.
This is very badly researched. Sigismund wasn't Holy Roman emperor in 1396. He was just king of Hungary and Croatia. He was elected emperor in 1433 and reigned until he died in 1437.
There were other factors, such as taking advantage of the western penchant for individual glory and prestige among the nobles and kights. Like the Mongols, the Ottomans drew in the egoistic knights, wore down their heavyhorses, then annihilated them. Western infantry was very skilled at arms, but not in discipline, and would route when the knights were killed in front of them or fled. Ottoman armies were highly disciplined, with both cavalry and infantry obeying orders rather than trying to engage in glory seeking. After all, they thought of themselves as the righful inheritors of Rome.
I wonder if the Frenchman was able to travel without much issue or if he was suspected of being a spy. In a way he kind of was a spy, right? Did the ottomans have any notion of conquering as far as France? Did they have a set distance of how far they wanted to go, or were they just invading as far as possible?
no one took seriously the calls of the Serbian emperor Dusan to the danger coming from the Turks, firstly because of the differences in religion that were insurmountable at the time because no western ruler wanted a schismatic to be the leader of the Catholic army against the Turks because it would undermine their authority in the so-called advanced western the world (Western Europe) because the "backward Eastern Europe" was always a thorn in their side. Later, all the deaths that occurred were a consequence of that. that the Serbs are the only strong factor in the Balkans, and without their help, he did not oppose the question that if the Turks would only reach the gates of Beca or Paris and Rome would be threatened. For centuries, the Serbs represented a great insurmountable obstacle to the Turks in Europe, serving the Hungarians, Austrians, Poles, Russians, Germans in the armies. Serbian military influence in quality and capable military personnel is marginalized and very little is talked about and learned about in schools in the West, if it weren't for him the states would have fallen to the Turks like ears of wheat.
@@TheSouth-j7f yes, they did in order to save their lives and the lives of their children, old people and women and some independence of their suffering country betrayed by the western allies and countries. do you know about despot stefan lazarevic and what he did on cooperation between east and west? do you know about the despot Djurdja Brankovic and how many times he financed the Western armies on their trips trying to imitate the Crusaders in the conflict with the Turks, do you know about the despot Pavlo Bakica and how many years did he defeat the Turks instead of the Hungarians and Austrians, do you know Vojvoda Nikola Skobaljica, who alone opposed the force of 12,000 Turks with his 600 horsemen and for years guarded the south-eastern border of Serbia and thus of Christian Europe until he was discovered as a fraud and skinned and impaled alive, there are many examples and too little space to write them all? do you know that France was one of the biggest Ottoman allies and the main supplier of cannons, do you know about the people of Genoa, the Venetians, the Florentines who for centuries provided their transport services to the Turkish army on its conquests in the Mediterranean, do you know how many officials were provided by the Albanians alone nation to the Ottomans - grand viziers, navy commanders, cavalry commanders, infantry commanders of the European part of the empire, how many Bulgarians, Romanians and Hungarians fought for them for centuries and guarded all the gorges and cliffs from the Carpathians to the Danube and Sava rivers at their mouths, how many Bosnians crossed to Islam and the country was converted from Christianity to another religion and they became the biggest executioners in the Balkans along with the Albanian converts?
The ottomans had success at timing.That is it.Right time.Most of the states that they went after were either in a civil war or at their last legs financialy or ravaged by other invasions.
1,the first reason was the numbers, the Ottomans took anyone who had a horse into the army. They were mostly summer campaigns when various robbers and other outlaws served as light cavalry, which of course could not be equal to the European heavy heavy cavalry, but they simply tired the cavalry and then the cavalry succumbed to the attack regular Ottoman army. the second reason was that the Ottomans offer in favorable conditions for the defeated nobles, so they actually became part of the Ottoman aristocracy in the conquered territory, they simply had to obey the sultan instead of the king and accept Islam
@@bolubeyi8959 I meant as the latest big threat to Europe was the Mongols who used it. Its a common tactic used by the Central Asian Nomads for forever DUH.

Erm, the Ottomans nearly won the siege of Vienna when they took a chunk of the wall. Sobieski did show up with his winger hussars, but there were Muslim tatars fighting in his army as well, so it wasn't Europe vs Islam as right wing idiots like to make it out.
@@milkmonster2310 Sobieski & winged hussars was a good advertising, but in reality their part was not crucial, It was a European coalition that cooperated effectively. There was also mistakes made by Ottoman Pashas

As for Marica those were the traitors and neither was a good general as you can clearly see setting up a camp without any guards or anything while they knew that enemy is close by.
Polish Winged Hussars stopped them at siege of Vienna. Largest cavalry charge in history. September 11th (where do you know that date from?) 1683.French made alliance with Ottoman empire, Germany hated them ever since. Puzzling though that Hitler, an Austrian, repaid Poland hundreds of years later by invading Poland and killing millions.

timur only won because he convinced generals to committ treason. in reality, bayezid recieved a military education and was a much more educated general than timur. Timur was just born from the steppes and used simple tactics. he knew he could not defeat bayezid even if he drastically outnumbered him, because (1. Better tactics, 2. better military, 3. innovations and etc.) thats why he won through politics in ankara. because bayezid's centralization system was unfair to anatolian vassals.

@@RuhiYegül-f7q 100% mongolian? :) Are you sure? Barlas was turc tribe, not mongolian. Uzbek nation consists from almost of hundred such tribes, and "Barlas" is only one of them.

Each president of Turkey from 1990 th till now are visiting the "steppes" and told as "fatherland". Demirell started to visit Bukhara (Naqshband mausoleum), if my memory doesn't cheat me, even in the period of former USSR or maybe just after it collapsed.

Ottoman army used the same tactics of Rashidun distribution of battalions and supply system ..between 1300-1770 Ottoman won 85% of their land battles in europe) Nicopolos was one of the biggest crushing victory of the ottoman army using the tactic of Khalid ibn Al Walid in Battle of Walaja to crush the European crusader army and inflicted heavy losses on them 100,000 crusaders were killed and drowned in the Tuna River, and 20,000 crusaders escaped and retreated , including King Sigismund of Hungary, Henry IV of England the future king, the Venetian admiral Tommaso Mocenigo, the commander of the Teutonic Knights Friedrich Von Hohenzollern...many of crusaders perished before reaching their lands and 10,000 wounded crusaders were surrender and captured, including Jean sans peur, Prince Philippe de Capet Artois ,Prince Jacques de Capet Bourbon de la manche ,Prince Henry de Lorraine ,Mareshal Bouci cault and 27 French nobles and hunderds from other european nations Ottoman army lost 10,000 Martyred and many were wounded The Crusaders were 130,000 men from 20 european states led by kingdom of Hungary divided into several battalions that did not understand the language of the other and accustomed to fighting armies of 10-15,000 and not large armies of 70-80,000 like the Humayun army. In Nicopolis 1396, Europe gathered 130,000 soldiers, led by the Kingdom of Hungary (60,000 men), followed by France, which sent a battalion of 10,000 men led by Jean sans peur and the remaining 60,000 from several European kingdoms: the Kingdom of England, the German Empire, the Kingdom of Poland, the Republic Venice, the Kingdom of Castile, the Kingdom of Aragon, the Papacy, the Knights of Rhodes, the Kingdom of Norway, the Kingdom of Scotland, the Teutonic Knights, the Republic of Genoa... and small European states all sent their soldiers.. The preparation of this Crusade took several months and the Vatican spent an enormous amount of money like never seen before in the Middle Ages with the goal to expel the Ottomans from Europe once and for all
They used Janissaries which were European soldiers and also something everybody ignores, that area was a shambles when they took over, the Byzantium empire had crumbled and there was a power vacuum
Bruh if Byzantium EMPIRE cant defeat a small Turkish tribe then they dont deserve to be an empire. The janissaries were not backbone of the army the backbone was the Sipahis. Janissaries were just elite forces usually wait at the center for defensive position made of few thousands. At the reign of Suleiman the peak of jannissary number were near 20k.
Unlike European Kingdoms, the Ottoman Empire had army discipline and organization. I can name you more than 20 army units with different missions within the Ottoman army here. So it's not just about sending the janissaries.

Eastern europe is closer to Central aasia than to wesern Europe.
Europe is a made up geographical term superimposed on a Greek-o-roman Christendom .....People east of Ural like the Hungarian Magyars, Bulgars, Avars, Pechnegs, Chuvash, and so many other Turkic people from Central Asia have always lived in eastern Europe even before Slavs. The Western Germanic people have nothing to do with Greece or Mediterranean.
Its the bridge of the massive Islamic Caliphate at the time.
What's funny?
The advantage of light-armed soldiers...getting to battle on time with less delay.
The Ottomans were taught by the Almogávares at the beginning of the 14th century, the Spanish had been fighting continuously against the Muslims in Hispania for 6 centuries and used light infantry perfectly.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_Company
There was no artillery at the time of sigismund
@@angelcamachodelsolar I don't thin Spanish armies using light armed soliders influanced Ottoman army at all, Ottomans never used heavy cavalary and infantry that much, it is a nomadic thing and early Ottomans were semi nomadic Turks.
@@youravaragetoxicmasculinem9508 Well, it is strange that they were defeated by the light infantry troops of the Almogávares so many times, even though they were inferior in number, and they did not learn anything or apply it later against their enemies.
@@angelcamachodelsolar Dude Ottomans did not fought against Almogavares, i don't even know who tf they are and i don't think even anyone outside Spain knows, nobody gives a shit about Almogavares and they didn't influanced anything in Ottomans, Ottomans probably didn't even know about Turks used light armored infantry for thausands of years, way before Ottomans, i just checked Alvogavares and their armor has nothing to do with what Turks used, Also Ottomans di not exist in 12-13centuries there were Seljuks Turks in Anatolia and Ottomans were in a smal tribe, Turks use light armor since first TUrkic state.
Maneuver, shock, communication, seizing the initiative, all key military principles
Thanks, now we know why the mighty Ottoman was not interested in full plate armor development.
They had Serbian knights & heavy cavalry with such armor under their command, if they ever needed such heavily armored troops for whatever particular reason
Giving Janissaries plate armor would have helped immensely in sieges.
They had heavy armour too- its not like they didn't care.
Well, as a Bulgarian that loves history, I'd like to state that this is quite an understatement, as my nation fell victim to the Ottomans' great military at that time. It was not only that they were innovators, moved quick and had numbers, it was also that for years they waged wars in the region by being mercenaries and were able first hand to study the weaknesses and the division in the Balkan nations. Balkan nations were foolish, not united and not seeing far ahead. Ottomans, even with all of their improvements, wouldn't be able to handle the Balkans the decisive way they did. Their best weapon was knowing their enemy and knowing their enemies will NEVER unite.
The Ottomans never kept the nations living in the Balkans separate from the Turks and always protected you, but you betrayed the Ottomans whenever you had the opportunity.
Ottoman history of 1299-1630s just a great. That's not only for conquests. Only thing would be enough for Everyone. Look at their Background and you will they were came from Central Asia at that time they were nomadic tribe. After 150 years Ottomans began rise. Even after the timur's invasion they recovered themselves from Civil wars. In 1453 they ended Medieval and Roman era. Some of sultans were truly Reformators. After the Reconquistica jews found peaceful life in that empire. Only western industrial revolutions weakened Ottoman Empire.
Ottomans weakened when they conquired Arabic lands and brought some of their ideologies to Constantinople.

but later couldn't catch on to that explains how wonderful this world is
It's interesting to observe that many commentators often seek to downplay the achievements, conquests, and innovations of the Ottomans. Yet, let's acknowledge that we are discussing an empire that engaged in wars, primarily driven by economic and political motives rather than religious ones. It successfully adapted to the demands of its time, establishing a robust framework for administration, trade, and the economy. The Ottoman Empire created a flourishing civilization with the influence of other rich civilizations where diverse nations coexisted harmoniously; although, one might observe a different scenario in its former geography marked by various problems nowadays. As someone proud of my Turkish heritage, I take immense pride in my ancestors who, despite their imperfections, played a pivotal role in shaping and sustaining the Ottoman Empire for an impressive six centuries. Thank you, K&G, we love you!
It was all about the quality of the commanders and centralized authority. When they faced capable adversaries, such as Skanderbeg, Stephen III and Vlad Dracula, they struggled. When they faced weak leadership such as the case with the Mamelukes, or the civil strife of the byzantines, they stomped.
@@cenktuneygok8986He won tactically but gained little strategically. Mehmed had a huge advantage in numbers but lost many men due to the guerilla tactics, scorched earth policy, and disease. Vlad’s brother was put on the throne but Romania was never a reliable vassal state for the ottomans. The Romanians would always turn to Christian Europe as natural allies first, Stephen of Moldavia was considered the ideal Christian hero, for example.
Ottomans fight most European kingdoms for centuries without losing a 1 to 1 battle ..
"Rapidly" and "EASTERN Europe" are a slightly bit strong words in my humble oppinion
Well I think it was impressive speed. Like please consider that they are constantly attacked from their eastern flank as well.
And think about the problem of Timur and the battle of Ankara in 1402, that literally could have been the end of the Ottoman Empire. Somehow it didn't die and continued taking eastern europe after 10 year of BLOODY civil war. Constantly losing soldiers and still taking that much in such little time.
No my friend no strong words were used in this video this is very impressive stuff.
@@yusassin1449 bro they took the balkans and badically inhereted the Chrimean khanet, that's far from like the whole Eastern Europe, + even thought their ryse was somewhat meteoric it is far more accurat to say they rapidly conquerd territories like Egyipt or the Outremer and say like subjegated like the whole of North Africa or something. At Europe they badically got stuck at near around the Danube despite the many attempts to break through like Hungary and such.
The Ottomans quickly and easily conquered places in Eastern Europe where they did not have logistical problems.The problem started as the borders moved away from Istanbul
@@andrasnoll2559 To be clear no one here said they took all of Eastern Europe. Just to get that out of the way.
I must say you make fair points. The conquest of Egypt is indeed worthy of being called a rapid advance. But Eastern Europe during that time was full of what were considered powerful states its not 1 centralized power that ruled large parts of Eastern Europe, I mean the Ottomans can't just defeat 1 large army or coalition and take the whole region like they did in Egypt. The Ottoman conquest of the Balkans and later their victory during the Battle of Mohacs took 50% of Hungary in one sweep these I consider these rapid advances.
So basically to sum it up if your that buthurt about me calling these "rapid advances" then why don't we just say the Ottomans had 2 outstanding "Breakthroughs" in their conquests of Eastern Europe instead. Will that get you off my ass? Someone replying to me simply because I'm saying something is a rapid advance kinda annoyed me.
By medieval standards, that is quick. That was an age when armies took months just to move 40km. Rome and Napoleon were the outliers.
Obviously the documentary is wrong about Eastern Europe. Just the Balkans
I wish you can make a video about the stand off and rivalry between Britain and France through out history which determined the fate of the modern world beginning with the Norman invasion and throughout the one hundred years war, the seven year war, and the napoleonic wars.

“Aggressive Camels” I spit out my coffee when he said that lol.
This is very badly researched. Sigismund wasn't Holy Roman emperor in 1396. He was just king of Hungary and Croatia. He was elected emperor in 1433 and reigned until he died in 1437.
Yes that’s true, but that’s what he’s known as, they weren’t talking about what he was at that time, they were talking about him being the emperor
I cannot believe someone figured out that Camels frighten horses in battle. Like an army of men won’t beat a cavalry but a couple Tylopoda will
I fully understand those horses. Camels can be such C. U. N. Ts...
Tbh, Nicopolis would've gone very different if the French knights had any discipline.
Ah yes, when Sigismund and the Black Templars fought Abaddon and his ottomans.
Yes Lord Inquisitor, this guy right here.
History always repeats itself.
There were other factors, such as taking advantage of the western penchant for individual glory and prestige among the nobles and kights. Like the Mongols, the Ottomans drew in the egoistic knights, wore down their heavyhorses, then annihilated them. Western infantry was very skilled at arms, but not in discipline, and would route when the knights were killed in front of them or fled.
Ottoman armies were highly disciplined, with both cavalry and infantry obeying orders rather than trying to engage in glory seeking. After all, they thought of themselves as the righful inheritors of Rome.
Constantinople didn't fall until 1453. Also Venice did not control Morea then Byzantium did. Do not share historical inaccuracies.
@@Napolitano-Lazo in 1453 the reason for the war is that Byzantium stopped paying tribute to the ottomans. They were not Venice vessels.

I wonder if the Frenchman was able to travel without much issue or if he was suspected of being a spy. In a way he kind of was a spy, right? Did the ottomans have any notion of conquering as far as France? Did they have a set distance of how far they wanted to go, or were they just invading as far as possible?
no one took seriously the calls of the Serbian emperor Dusan to the danger coming from the Turks, firstly because of the differences in religion that were insurmountable at the time because no western ruler wanted a schismatic to be the leader of the Catholic army against the Turks because it would undermine their authority in the so-called advanced western the world (Western Europe) because the "backward Eastern Europe" was always a thorn in their side. Later, all the deaths that occurred were a consequence of that. that the Serbs are the only strong factor in the Balkans, and without their help, he did not oppose the question that if the Turks would only reach the gates of Beca or Paris and Rome would be threatened. For centuries, the Serbs represented a great insurmountable obstacle to the Turks in Europe, serving the Hungarians, Austrians, Poles, Russians, Germans in the armies. Serbian military influence in quality and capable military personnel is marginalized and very little is talked about and learned about in schools in the West, if it weren't for him the states would have fallen to the Turks like ears of wheat.
The Serbs fought for the Ottoman Turks at the Battle of Nicopolis in 1396 AD against Christian Europe.

They abandoned because the battle was lost. Medieval european sources always find a way to politically blame monarchs to excuse the defeat.
The French what? Would you mind explaining or us just beta tiktok gen z hating French trend?
1,the first reason was the numbers, the Ottomans took anyone who had a horse into the army. They were mostly summer campaigns when various robbers and other outlaws served as light cavalry, which of course could not be equal to the European heavy heavy cavalry, but they simply tired the cavalry and then the cavalry succumbed to the attack regular Ottoman army. the second reason was that the Ottomans offer in favorable conditions for the defeated nobles, so they actually became part of the Ottoman aristocracy in the conquered territory, they simply had to obey the sultan instead of the king and accept Islam

Nicopolos was one of the biggest crushing victory of the ottoman army using the tactic of Khalid ibn Al Walid in Battle of Walaja to crush the European crusader army and inflicted heavy losses on them
100,000 crusaders were killed and drowned in the Tuna River,
and 20,000 crusaders escaped and retreated , including King Sigismund of Hungary, Henry IV of England the future king, the Venetian admiral Tommaso Mocenigo, the commander of the Teutonic Knights Friedrich Von Hohenzollern...many of crusaders perished before reaching their lands
and 10,000 wounded crusaders were surrender and captured, including Jean sans peur, Prince Philippe de Capet Artois ,Prince Jacques de Capet Bourbon de la manche ,Prince Henry de Lorraine ,Mareshal Bouci cault and 27 French nobles and hunderds from other european nations
Ottoman army lost 10,000 Martyred and many were wounded
The Crusaders were 130,000 men from 20 european states led by kingdom of Hungary divided into several battalions that did not understand the language of the other and accustomed to fighting armies of 10-15,000 and not large armies of 70-80,000 like the Humayun army.
In Nicopolis 1396, Europe gathered 130,000 soldiers, led by the Kingdom of Hungary (60,000 men), followed by France, which sent a battalion of 10,000 men led by Jean sans peur and the remaining 60,000 from several European kingdoms: the Kingdom of England, the German Empire, the Kingdom of Poland, the Republic Venice, the Kingdom of Castile, the Kingdom of Aragon, the Papacy, the Knights of Rhodes, the Kingdom of Norway, the Kingdom of Scotland, the Teutonic Knights, the Republic of Genoa... and small European states all sent their soldiers.. The preparation of this Crusade took several months and the Vatican spent an enormous amount of money like never seen before in the Middle Ages with the goal to expel the Ottomans from Europe once and for all
There is no way ottomans knew what tactics khalid ibn walid use. Ottomans use the merge of Turkic central asian tactics with Byzantine and Persian.
Where did they get camels from😅
They used Janissaries which were European soldiers and also something everybody ignores, that area was a shambles when they took over, the Byzantium empire had crumbled and there was a power vacuum
Bruh if Byzantium EMPIRE cant defeat a small Turkish tribe then they dont deserve to be an empire. The janissaries were not backbone of the army the backbone was the Sipahis. Janissaries were just elite forces usually wait at the center for defensive position made of few thousands. At the reign of Suleiman the peak of jannissary number were near 20k.
Unlike European Kingdoms, the Ottoman Empire had army discipline and organization. I can name you more than 20 army units with different missions within the Ottoman army here. So it's not just about sending the janissaries.
They were not european soldiers they were christian origin (mostly european) soldiers trained by the turks

So really it's the map illustration that is incorrect, as it should still show a different color right around Constantinople instead of the Turkish green.
@@KevinElamMusic Thank you sir! Now I understand. This video is still a great illustration of the expansion of the Ottoman Empire for the time. As a teacher I use this type of material all the time to show students patterns throughout history.
Turkey 🇹🇷🇹🇷💪💪💪💪💪 >>> Europeans
U and the Europeans r husks of ur former glory 😂😂😂
The cammel tactic is the same tactic cyrus used against lydia so its old
Until the Polish stopped them
Yes and Europe rewarded Poland very well lol
@@abdullahiabdisalan1170 I heard that siege of Vienna already has a relief force that had fight against the ottoman prior when the winged hussars arrive.
The winged hussars came at first but hesitate to charge, instead they wait and see till the enemy became weaker than charge for the final blow, like any smart cavalry would do
@JesusIsTheEternalGodcringe god have fun with your 3th in 1 shampoo
downtil the ottomans stopped many polish wars
قال المتنبي بحق الابل
ألا كل ماشية الخيزلى فدى كل ماشية الهيذبا
وكل نجاة بجاويتة خنوف ومابي حسن المشى
ولكنهن حبال الحياة وغيظ العداة وميط الاذى
ضربت بها التيه ضرب القمار إما لهذا وإما لذا
اذا فزعت قدمتها الجياد وبيض السيوف وسمر القناة
ومرت بنخل وفي ركبها عن العالمين وعنه غنى
فأمست تخيرنا بالنقاب بوادي المياه وواد القرى
وقلنا لها اين ارض العراق قالت ونحن بتربانها
وهذه الابيات تشرح كيف ان الجمال هي سلاح حربي تتميز به خصائص عديدة منها معرفة الطريق حتى وان كانت صحراء التيه الجمال تستكشف الخطر ففزعها كانه انذار مبكر للخطر فيستعد الفرسان لمواجهة الخطر بالسيوف والرماح كما لها القابلية على التزود بالاحمال وقلة الورود للمراعي وهي من السرعة بحيث كانت مساءا في النقاب مارة بمفرق طرق وحين سؤالها عن ارض العراق قال لقد وصلنا الى ترابها ويروي المتنبي رحلته من مصر مرورا بسيناء وشمال الجزيرة العربية وصولا لبادية العراق ثم لبغداد مع عدم ذكرها بالاسم على راحلته
